Per Capita |
Countless opinions — a hotbed of riches |
Last remaining entitlement |
Feeling valued? |
Or devoutly subdued? |
Per Capita |
All placated and humoured |
A billion voices shall all register — they say |
Diversity for the diverse |
Feeling valued? |
Or devoutly subdued? |
Per Capita |
All placated and humoured |
The movers, the shakers — largely abjecy fakers |
Scale their ivory towers |
Democracy sours, peasant |
Democracy sours, peasant! |
Self-interest in the pure sense is pushing for the privilege |
Not to be undervalued or singled out as surplus — dead weight |
Democracy sours, peasant! |
Per Capita, you are entrapped… |
…Away from their precious glass houses |
Which you’d shatter with stones of just justice |
Exposing the power base for all its filthy favouritism |
Per Capita, they’ve got your number… |
…Turning the rest against your so-called reprehensible deviance |
Setting new precedents for crass behaviour |
And so persists the untouchable elite |
Scale their ivory towers, peasant! |
